I wholeheartedly recommend Eddie Sapien and Network Construction for any remodel or general construction project.
We wanted to put down some wood flooring in two rooms. While I was confident in my DIY ability for the small room, I was not confident with the large living/dining room. This room is a focal point from the foyer and contains a wide step down.
Deciding to get professional help we solicited three bids. Two contractors came, looked at the room and with little thought, quoted a cost that within a couple of hundred dollars from each other. Between these two lackluster bids, Eddie looked at the job, asked several questions about what layout we wanted, how we would like the step done and so on. Eddie made some suggestions which reflected his expertise. Eddie's communication skills left the other contractors behind at the starting line. Even better, his bid was in line with the other two.
This job was not a large undertaking and would be done in a day. Eddie and Louis showed up on the appointed day and at the appointed time, giving lie to the stereotype of contractors being haphazard with time management and showing up late. During the process, Eddie schooled me as to the installation so I could do the small room. The job went very well and the floor looked great.
However, due to the nature of the flooring material and the float installation, the step down was an epic fail. Eddie displayed extreme professional competency but it was just putting lipstick on a pig.
We put our heads together and come up with plan B. I acquired two pieces of solid wood with a similar grain as that of the flooring. Eddie picked up the new material, joined them, shaped it, stained and finished it. Eddie then came back and installed the new step down. A tricky piece of work as the step down faced floor tile that was not quite set uniformly, but Eddie made it look perfect at no extra charge. We could not be happier with the finished product and the fine service provided by Eddie Sapien and Network Construction. read more
